ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE
It has been identified that within the mechanism of the accelerator pedal there is a friction lever which interacts with a sliding surface. Over time and under certain conditionsthe contact surfaces may generated excessive friction and latterly the movement of the accelerator pedal. This over time and under certain conditions will result in the accelerator pedal becoming intermittently more difficult to push; or slower to return. In rare instances the accelerator pedal can remain in the partially depressed position.
Recalled vehicles will have a reinforcing plate fitted within the accelerator pedal mechanism which will ensure continued correct functionality.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Fuel may leak from an injector and/or fuel return pipe resulting in: loss of power illumination of malfunction indicator lamp diesel fuel small smoke and in the worse case fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and if necessary refit the injector and fuel return pipes
POSSIBLE DETACHMENT OF SEMI TRAILER
It has been identified that a number of kingpins manufactured by SAF- Holland and incorporated into Tridec self steering axle systems are under certain conditions likely to fail. Should this occur trailer detachment would result.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject kingpins replaced with a quality assured item.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that the possibility exists that contact between the fuel return pipe and the engine shield may take place inside the engine compartment. Should this occur wear on the pipe would ensue which in the worst case; would result in a fuel leak.
Recalled vehicles will be fitted with an additional fastener to ensure that contact is not made and if necessary the fuel return pipe will be replaced.
INADVERTENT APPLICATION OF THE PARKING BRAKE
It has been identified that a number of the subject vehicles have been fitted with faulty Voss air distributor check valves which do not afford the prime mover parking brake system reliable protection in the event of the trailer air supply lines becoming holed or torn away. Should a trailer air supply line disconnect or holing situation occur there is the potential for the prime mover rear axle parking brakes to actuate causing the vehicle to slow down or in some cases suffer rear wheel lock with no driver input.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject valve replaced with a quality assured item.
INTERIOR TRIM MAY BECOME DETACHED CAUSING INJURY
It is possible in the event of an accident where the airbags are deployed for the A pillar trim to loosen. It is then possible for the trim to move into the passenger compartment which would increase the risk of injury to the front passengers.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the centre retaining clip on each of the A pillar trims.

LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
The intermediate steering shaft may not be correctly coupled to the steering column which in certain driving conditions could result in disconnection and loss of steering control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary reassemble the intermediate steering shaft to the steering column correctly.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
On certain vehicles overheating may occur at the cab to heated windscreen wiring connector plug. If not addressed and under extreme circumstances a fire may occur.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the electrical connector of the heated windscreen.

Recall affected vehicles and replace the electrical connector of the heated windscreen.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE
It has been identified that on affected vehicles condensation resulting from cold-weather use of the heater or other causes may form on the worn surface of a component within the throttle pedal assembly known as the friction device. If this occurs there is a possibility that in the worst case the accelerator pedal may return slowly or does not return to the engine idle position.
Recalled vehicles will have a precision-cut steel reinforcing bar fitted into the accelerator pedal assembly which will create a space in order to reduce the surface tension between the friction device and a component referred to as the pedal arm. The subject bar also strengthens the reaction force of the spring that returns the accelerator pedal to it's non-pressed position.

RISK OF FIRE
Water and other liquids may enter the driver's side power window switch and may cause damage switch failure overheating and potentially a fire.
Recall affected vehicles check switch and wiring if damaged replace and then fit external cover to switch to prevent water ingress.

ENGINE MAY FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY
The engine may fail without warning due to the connecting rods not being to the correct specification.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and fit a new quality assured engine unit.
LOSS OF CONTROL
It has been identified that under certain circumstances the rear suspension pivot point may seize. In extreme cases this may result in a suspension link arm breaking with the potential to cause the rear suspension to collapse. Should this occur loss of control would ensue.
Recalled machines will be fitted with a modified rear suspension link assembly.
FRONT BRAKE MAY BECOME INEFFECTIVE
The front brake line may contact the front tyre and develop a hole allowing brake fluid leakage
Recall affected machines inspect the front brake line and if undamaged install line guide. If damaged replace and reroute using 2010 model year brake line.
